<h2>Answer:</h2>

Cell membrane is the outer layer of cell. in plants there is a cell wall  above cell membranes but in animal cells there is only a cell membrane.

It has a complex structure relating to it function.

<h3><u>Structure:</u></h3>
  • It is a lipid bilayer. lipids are phospholipids.
  • Heads of phospholipids are in outer side while tails are in inner portion of bilayer forming hydrophobic inside the bilayer and hydrophilic outer layer/sides of membrane.
  • There are also embedded proteins in lipid bilayer forming mosaic like shape.
  • There is small amount of cholesterol attached to membrane.
  • There are also specific glycoproteins projecting out side the cell.

<h3><u>Function:</u></h3>
  • Outer covering of cell.
  • Control for intercellular transport.
  • Protection.
  • Surface receptors for the recognition.
  • Provides flexibility.

The structure is a phospholipid bilayer. There are many phospholipids which contain a water loving phosphate end and a water hating lipid (fatty) end. The phosphate ends all point out words while the fatty ends are inside.

The purpose is protection of the cell as well as allowing certain molecules to enter and exit the cell

Which sentence correctly describes the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes? A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is
kotykmax [81]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
  • So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.

Describe TWO environmental consequences, other than those related to the loss of boreal forest habitat, that result from the ext
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.

Explanation:

Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.

Two consequences of this practice are:

  • The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute  to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
  • The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water  could get into surface.

a versatile cas12k-based genetic engineering toolkit (c12kget) for metabolic engineering in genetic manipulation-deprived strain
sveta [45]

versatile cas12k-based genetic engineering toolkit (c12kget)

  • Genetic modification of micro-organisms is conducive to the selection of high production producers of high-value-added chemicals, but a deficient  of genetic tools limits the industrialization of most wild species
  • It is very important  to develop host-independent gene editing tools which can be used for genetic modification  deprived strains.
  • A easily found  Cas12k-based genetic engineering toolkit (C12KGET) that can result into genomic integration of small parts up to 10 kb in size with up to 100% efficiency in challenging strains.
  • By using  C12KGET, we accomplished the first example of highly efficient genome editing in Sinorhizobium meliloti, which was successfully solved the question of  that industrial strains are difficult to genetically modify, and increased vitamin B12 production by 25%.
  • Cas12k can be directly used for transcriptional regulation of genes with up to 92% efficiency due to its naturally inactivated nuclease domain
